Carlton The Campus Cat Rules St. Mary’s University

Majoring in “feline arts”, this friendly kitty brings smiles to staff, students AND the Internet!

Carlton, the 4-year-old cat, lives the best student life. Fortunately, he lives right next to St. Mary’s University (in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) which means he doesn’t have to bear the treacherous commute that other students do. He roams the campus at his own pace, without having to rush to back-to-back classes. He pops in and out of classes on a whim and teaches students that any spot can become a “student lounge” when you’re a cat.

Carlton’s location on campus is continually updated by the Student Union Twitter account. Tweets are plenty as Carlton doesn’t stick in one place for long! It’s just that there are so many places to cat nap and so many stressed out students to visit for some calming pets.
